Can a legal system take into account all perspectives, resulting in a desirable full and balanced law, while excluding half of humanity from its development? Positively formulated, what do women bring to the law? Throughout these pages, the author sets out to answer these and other questions related to women and the Law. To do so, she begins by explaining some of the reasons for the absence of women jurists from the 2nd century to the end of the 19th century. From there, she goes on to examine the history of the first women jurists in the United States of America and Spain: who were they, what support did they have and what difficulties did they encounter, did they share the same aspirations, what were their contributions to Law? The aim of this work is to contribute, through the knowledge of women who paved the way, to the writing of that work, still incomplete, which is Women in History.

Writer, translator and teacher from Madrid, Dolores Franco de Marías (1912-1977) is best known for having been the most important woman in the life of the philosopher Julián Marías. But while it is true that she was the wife of one of the most outstanding Spanish thinkers of the 20th century and the mother of four children currently involved in Spanish cultural life, this paper would like to highlight her own intellectual value and the extent to which she can also be considered a disciple of José Ortega y Gasset and Pedro Salinas in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters.
Undoubtedly, her great talents were to make possible a “polished and perfect love” (a very complex art) and to lead a difficult but authentic Spanish life, from a full feminine vital reason, open to the masculine one, in connection with it.

Women often find themselves strongly disadvantaged in the field of software development, in particular when it comes to open source. In a study recently published in EPJ Data Science, Orsolya Vasarhelyi and Balazs Vedres argue that this disadvantage stems from gendered behavior rather than categorical discrimination: women are at a disadvantage because of what they do, rather than because of who they are.

Flora wrote a paper on the gender-energy-poverty nexus. She argued that the energy transition can reduce poverty under the conditions that women are recognised as the main victims of both lack of energy access and poverty, that women are encouraged to be active actors of the energy transition, and that the wider complexities of the social and political contexts are taken into consideration. She took the concrete example of the Barefoot College to illustrate her point that women are agents of change.

The objective of this work is to focus on the father figure, giving new light to its educational function, which often overwhelms and is placed in second place to the mother function.
